Failures
I was walkin through the backwoods where the Clear Fork River runs,
Wrapping regret on my tongue for every stupid thing I've done. The dark of dusk departed and the red sun broke the sky, I got a little older, found her shoulder, and I forced myself to cry Sayin "Darling, I know that this could be Somethin beautiful for you or for me." It's a shame we gotta let failures get in the way It's a shame we gotta let failures get in the way I've been drinking too much recently and stayin up too late I scare myself and get pulled into hysterics of hate. Last night I got so angry, I tore down all my shelves And I told everone who loved me they can fuck themselves. Short of breath now, it's hard for me to stand. But I swear to God, I can be a good man. It's a shame we gotta let failures get in the way It's a shame we gotta let failures get in the way I see the devil's face to clearly, it's like she was never gone. It makes me sick how beauty moves so quick when the lights come on. And I know there's something evil, lurking in that lace. She's holding out that red apple, remember how sweet it tastes? And ya never know what's comin round the bend. Sometimes the past can be a terrible friend. It's a shame we gotta let failures get in the way It's a shame we gotta let failures get in the way It's a shame we gotta let failures get in the way. |
